Dr An — Goyang

Stroke and brain tumor care often require decisions that balance urgency with long-term outcomes—An Song-yeol’s practice at Myongji Hospital is built around exactly that range. As a specialist at the hospital, he works with cerebrovascular conditions including brain hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, cerebral artery aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformation, alongside evaluation for headache, facial spasm, and seizures. His neurosurgical scope also includes brain tumors and pediatric neurosurgical disorders, such as craniosynostosis (plagiocephaly/scaphocephaly) and congenital pediatric brain conditions. His career path includes training as a Resident at Seoul National University’s Namwon Public Health Center, followed by an Associate Professor role at Bundang Seoul National University Hospital. He has also served as Head of Neurosurgery at St. Mary’s Hospital in Chungju, where responsibility for surgical neurosurgery sits at the center of his work. For international patients, the Myongji Hospital International Medical Center supports 1:1 medical translation and VIP inpatient services, helping families coordinate complex neurosurgical treatment from abroad.
